    Development and Application of Efficient Ag‐based Hydrogenation Catalysts Prepared from Rice Husk Waste
    (Weinheim : Wiley-VCH, 2021) Unglaube, Felix; Kreyenschulte, Carsten Robert; Mejía, Esteban
    The development of strategies for the sustainable management and valorization of agricultural waste is of outmost importance. With this in mind, we report the use of rice husk (RH) as feedstock for the preparation of heterogeneous catalysts for hydrogenation reactions. The catalysts were prepared by impregnating the milled RH with a silver nitrate solution followed by carbothermal reduction. The composition and morphology of the prepared catalysts were fully assessed by IR, AAS, ICP-MS, XPS, XRD and STEM techniques. This novel bio-genic silver-based catalysts showed excellent activity and remarkable selectivity in the hydrogenation of nitro groups in both aromatic and aliphatic substrates, even in the presence of reactive functionalities like halogens, carbonyls, borate esters or nitriles. Recycling experiments showed that the catalysts can be easily recovered and reused multiple times without significant drop in performance and without requiring re-activation. © 2021 The Authors.

    Manganese-catalyzed selective C–H activation and deuteration by means of a catalytic transient directing group strategy
    (London : Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2021) Kopf, Sara; Neumann, Helfried; Beller, Matthias
    A novel manganese-catalyzed C-H activation methodology for selective hydrogen isotope exchange of benzaldehydes is presented. Using D2O as a cheap and convenient source of deuterium, the reaction proceeds with excellent functional group tolerance. Highortho-selectivity is achieved in the presence of catalytic amounts of specific amines, whichin situform a transient directing group. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2021.

    General and selective synthesis of primary amines using Ni-based homogeneous catalysts
    (Cambridge : RSC, 2020) Murugesan, Kathiravan; Wei, Zhihong; Chandrashekhar, Vishwas G.; Jiao, Haijun; Beller, Matthias; Jagadeesh, Rajenahally V.
    The development of base metal catalysts for industrially relevant amination and hydrogenation reactions by applying abundant and atom economical reagents continues to be important for the cost-effective and sustainable synthesis of amines which represent highly essential chemicals. In particular, the synthesis of primary amines is of central importance because these compounds serve as key precursors and central intermediates to produce value-added fine and bulk chemicals as well as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and materials. Here we report a Ni-triphos complex as the first Ni-based homogeneous catalyst for both reductive amination of carbonyl compounds with ammonia and hydrogenation of nitroarenes to prepare all kinds of primary amines. Remarkably, this Ni-complex enabled the synthesis of functionalized and structurally diverse benzylic, heterocyclic and aliphatic linear and branched primary amines as well as aromatic primary amines starting from inexpensive and easily accessible carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and ketones) and nitroarenes using ammonia and molecular hydrogen. This Ni-catalyzed reductive amination methodology has been applied for the amination of more complex pharmaceuticals and steroid derivatives. Detailed DFT computations have been performed for the Ni-triphos based reductive amination reaction, and they revealed that the overall reaction has an inner-sphere mechanism with H2metathesis as the rate-determining step. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2020.

    Ultra-small cobalt nanoparticles from molecularly-defined Co-salen complexes for catalytic synthesis of amines
    (Cambridge : RSC, 2020) Senthamarai, Thirusangumurugan; Chandrashekhar, Vishwas G.; Gawande, Manoj B.; Kalevaru, Narayana V.; Zbořil, Radek; Kamer, Paul C.J.; Jagadeesh, Rajenahally V.; Beller, Matthias
    We report the synthesis of in situ generated cobalt nanoparticles from molecularly defined complexes as efficient and selective catalysts for reductive amination reactions. In the presence of ammonia and hydrogen, cobalt-salen complexes such as cobalt(ii)-N,N′-bis(salicylidene)-1,2-phenylenediamine produce ultra-small (2-4 nm) cobalt-nanoparticles embedded in a carbon-nitrogen framework. The resulting materials constitute stable, reusable and magnetically separable catalysts, which enable the synthesis of linear and branched benzylic, heterocyclic and aliphatic primary amines from carbonyl compounds and ammonia. The isolated nanoparticles also represent excellent catalysts for the synthesis of primary, secondary as well as tertiary amines including biologically relevant N-methyl amines.
